Yet Another Toy Being Turned into A Movie....Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots?! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

You would think the promise of plenty steel smashing in Shawn Levy's futuristic robot boxing movie Real Steel would be enough, but apparently it's only making way for more giant robot movies. Pajiba has heard from their insiders that Mattel and Mandeville Films are developing a feature film based around the classic toy Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. In addition, apparently Wolfgang Peterson is attached to the project and there's a chance (though for some odd reason, this info isn't as solid) that Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium) is on board to write. Yeah, and you know, maybe Christopher Nolan could direct a Mouse Trap movie, too!

Seriously, I think one movie focused on robot boxing is enough, especially since the prospect of 19 different giant robots used in the actual filming of Real Steel just sounds too bad ass to be outshined (by red & blue plastic robots?!).

The premise for this movie should be that in a futuristic society, boxing has been banned and all combatants are robotic. When the owner of one of these mechanical marvels can't afford to make the necessary repairs to his machine, he disguises himself as the robot and steps into the ring to do battle in the hopes of winning the prize money to make those repairs.

Now where I have seen this before?
